For one, crocheting is therapeutic. Because of its calming, rhythmic movements, it has been shown in studies that there are positive results for people suffering from chronic depression, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and schizophrenia. Crocheting is also for common ordinary people, young and old, who simply enjoy the feeling of accomplishing something with their after-work, idle time. The act of crocheting relieves stress and muscle tensions after a hard day at work as crocheting easily takes your mind off from work and draws you deeper into a solitary hobby where you can collect your thoughts as you let your fingers and the crochet hook do their work.
The various yarn colors have positive effects on the eyes too. Colors in soft, fuzzy materials provide a change of the cold, hard and glaring screens of the office computers that you have been staring at for the whole day.
Crocheting can be done with a minimum amount of equipment and mess. People who are into crocheting simply enjoy the fact that crocheting tools are small and handy and can be easily transported in your purse or a small bag to take out when a good crocheting time presents itself. Many times we get caught in long wait times in appointment offices, and if you have your project at hand it can be worked on during those wait times and you won’t feel like it was wasted time. Crocheting is easy to do when you are traveling. There is only your yarn and a crochet hook, and possible a simple easy crochet pattern, to carry. If you should make a mistake along the way it is easy to pull the work back to the ‘correct’ single loop and restart from there. I can testify that this has happened to me many times, over and over. This can be discouraging, but you’ll be proud of your finished project when it is done correctly.
Crocheting is a perfect choice of hobbies for several reasons. Besides the obvious calming and stress-reducing effects it offers, crocheting also is a great choice for beginners because it is not difficult to learn and then it allows for incredible creative freedom and gives an outlet for self satisfaction. When you crochet an article of clothing from a simple easy crochet pattern, you get to actually wear your creation.
Another benefit is that you can find many helps on the internet. If you spend some time looking on the internet you will find information on almost any hobby, including crocheting. Although a lot of people think that crocheting is something only our grandmothers do, they are wrong. Crocheting is becoming popular again with many young people taking up this craft and hobby. This might be due to the many beautiful items it is possible to create with a little yarn and a crochet hook.
Be a Happy, fun-loving Person who loves to crochet...
